David Attenborough:
"A non-native species, the deer first migrated here to the Traffic Islands in the twenty first century, much to the consternation of the local apes."
If they don't want to bring wolves and bears back, they better start eating them
I don't understand why venison isn't on the menu more often in the UK. When I do see it, it's often on the special board, or in less mainstream restaurants. It's tasty, healthy and sustainable so what's that problem?
In Canada you aren't allowed to sell wild meat. It has to be farmed. This is to stop poachers and uninspected meat being sold. Wild deer can have gross shit in them. Around me "mad deer disease" is a thing.
Yeah, in maine we have chronic wasting disease in the deer population. Gotta inspect every deer you shoot because nobody wants a prion disease (not sure it can leap species but i don’t think anyone wants to chance it).
chronic wasting disease
That's the one.
It can and has. It's why I stopped eating deer. Shits really bad in the south
I think people are supposed to freeze wild deer meat for like 6-12 months to kill the parasites in them
FENTON! OH, JESUS CHRIST! FENTON!
The deer were there before the block of flats
The wolves that kept the deer population under control were there before the flats
I absolutely support introducing wolves to traffic islands.
Bring back wolves and bears, you pissants
Interesting that the culling reduced after 2020. During lockdown, I grew a great crop of runner beans, but every year since, deer have eaten the plants!
Does Britain not have hungry people? There's a very simple solution here
If you have guns, there is.
Mmmm, prions.
Sorry it sounds like a good problem to have.
